Property needs a reno, for over $200 a night...bed was hard...need mattress toppers, microwave was old and yellow didn't work and towel rails were a yellow colour too...it was clean ...frig was rusty at the bottom and made a noise.TV you had to sign into 9now to access and other apps to access channels
Staff were amazing, friendly and helpful. Perfect location to everything you need. IGA next door, Ed's bakery and bottle shop. Bowls club across the road. Access to beach drives close. Although some rooms are a little old, i will definitely be staying there again.
An excellent place to stay, I really enjoyed my time at this property. Staff were friendly. The room was very comfortable, clean and spacious. Quiet overnight. Great location.

Bedding was not clean and window coverings broken.
We enjoyed our stay as it was close to the shopping precinct and we could walk to meals and the beautiful beach. The cleanliness of the facilities was a stand out for me.
Be aware there are stairs to the second story.
Shower had green would/orsomething covering shower head. Ants everywhere. Bed was literally broken in middle and sunk when sat on. And worst during winter not hot water to shower!
